Malaga vs. Villareal, 21 April. Last match in round 34 of the Spanish La Liga.
Malaga is safe from any worries in this end of the season. 13th place and 6 points clear of relegation is surely enough to avoid the drop, especially given that there are many teams between Malaga and the danger zone. This could be a reason for Malaga’s pathetic performance last round at Bilbao (0-3) after previously Malaga put on 2 consecutive wins to make sure they stay in La Liga. Team news for Malaga say that Tissone and Weligton are out.
Malaga lineup: Caballero – Gamez, Angeleri, Ferreira, Antunes – Camacho, Darder – Amrabat, Duda, Samuel – Cruz

Villarreal still has every chance to catch an Europa League spot so they are very focused for these last rounds of the season. They are on the 7th place and need to at least secure it. Villarreal was in shaky form lately, but last round they got a solid 1-0 home win vs. Levante after another good performance in a 0-1 loss away to Atletico Madrid. Team news for Villarreal say that Dorado is out, and Paulista, Iniguez and Uche are doubtful. But best player Giovanni Dos Santos will be back in the starting lineup to bring a big boost for the visitors.
Villarreal lineup: Asenjo – Mario, Musacchio, Pantic, Costa – Oliver, Pina, Bruno, Cani – Perbet, Santos
Malaga has nothing left to play for and they looked totally disinterested in the last match vs. Bilbao. Villareal is not in the best form in the last month or so, but they showed clear improvements in the last 2 rounds and are very motivated to get points here. I can’t see Villarreal losing points in this circumstances, also considering they are the better team … so an x2 bet looks like a banker. My tip is Villareal + 0,5 handicap (or double chance x2). Under 2,5 goals also looks good but due to my analysis I think x2 is the better bet. Maybe not the highest odds but for sure it is worth it, I find no logical reason for Malaga to win. Correct score prediction: Malaga – Villarreal 0-1.
Pick: Villarreal (+0,5)
